Ruining the Rake - Paperback

A Rake with a Secret

The Honorable Reginald Vane doesn't mind being known throughout London as a self-indulgent libertine. Years of pleasure-seeking properly earned him the notoriety. He decided long ago that he'd rather everyone believe him to be an ignoble reprobate and womanizer than allow them to discover the truth--that his entire existence is a lie.

A Woman of Wrath

Cecily Fairclough has a reputation amongst the fashionable ton for being a veritable shrew. Women eye her askance. Men dare each other to approach her. But she wasn't always a sharp-tongued harridan. Betrayal reformed her. And now she does all she can to keep others from the same fate. Even if it means trusting a ruinous rake.

A Seductive Deception

When Reginald and Cecily engage in a fake courtship in order to win a devious wager, they only think they know what's truly at stake. She will sacrifice her future to avenge evils of the past. He will forfeit his honor to protect a scandalous secret. But neither of them expects to lose their heart in the bargain.
